NBC Sports. According to Linta, Flacco is set of leaving Cleveland…
When Flacco was added back to the Browns practice squad last week as a roster management measure, “two or three” clubs made inquiries about signing him, according to Joe Linta, Flacco’s agent, who spoke with Peter King of NBC Sports. According to Linta, Flacco is set of leaving Cleveland.
Joe Flacco was a risk that the Cleveland Browns were rewarded for, as he swiftly became the team’s starting quarterback for the balance of the season. Flacco was so effective that other teams attempted to sign him in order to make up for their earlier loss.
When Flacco was added back to the Browns practice squad last week as a roster management measure, “two or three” clubs made inquiries about signing him, according to Joe Linta, Flacco’s agent, who spoke with Peter King of NBC Sports. According to Linta, Flacco never thought about leaving Cleveland.
Linta stated, “Joe didn’t want to hear it.” “He was determined to remain in Cleveland. He adores the group. He and the coach got along pretty well.
Flacco was signed to the practice squad when he was first brought in by the Browns, who subsequently upgraded him for opening day. This meant that even after the team committed to him as a starter, he had to go back to the practice squad, where he might have been pursued by other teams. Even though Flacco was not tempted to depart, the Browns made sure this option was no longer available by signing him to a contract good for the remainder of the season last week.
In his first three games with Cleveland, Flacco has passed for 939 yards and seven touchdowns. While he hasn’t been flawless, he has been more than adequate, and some clubs in need of a quarterback might be cursing themselves for passing him over for so long.
